SF Night Ministry

The San Francisco Night Ministry provides crisis intervention, counseling and referral services every night of the year. Since 1964, we haven’t missed one night in 50 years. Every night, rain or shine, whether it’s a holiday or not, between 10:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. We staff a crisis telephone line and support night ministers who literally walk the streets of San Francisco offering face-to-face conversations to those who are lonely, anxious and afraid in the middle of the night, when crises are most acute and when social services don’t readily exist.

Getting Involved

There are several ways to volunteer to support the Night Ministry. Consider becoming a Crisis Line Counselor or a member of our “Daytime Volunteer Corps” which assists with mailings, promotions, Fall Benefit set up, and at other times as needed. Or you can come and join the Night Ministers for an evening and experience firsthand the ministry to our lonely, anxious and forgotten sisters and brothers.
